Re: anybody riding?

So many cool pictures and links to history since I was last here! Went on a little ride from Nanaimo to Victoria then Sooke and Port Renfrew. Then back to Nanaimo by way of Lake Cowichan and Duncan. Stopped several times along the way to refuel me and the bike. Passed my favorite tree that I have be...

Re: anybody riding?

Went for a jaunt to Crofton and Mill Bay. Came across this old cemetery.

I like cemetery’s for some reason.

Probably because the residents are peaceable with one another.

Re: Topbox instead of pillion seat?

How about a BBQ instead of a pillion seat?

My latest project for my day trips. Finally perfected the mounting board, in the process of finishing it.

Re: anybody riding?

Old Grinner, nice pictures in this and your other post. There is something about 2 wheel therapy that reached the soul. Wind in my hair, bugs in my teeth, what more could I want? :D I was thinking about the early 80’s I was just a kid, my Dad sold cars, it was bad. Just no money out there. Don’t rem...

Re: Drive belt

Hmm.... I am thinking the rollers may be sticking or have developed some flat spots.

Re: anybody riding?

Well we are having a slowdown in the excavation side of things. Permits are slow coming, investors pulling out of jobs. I guess people are getting scared of the economy.

No work again so just got out for a ride.

Re: anybody riding?

Bought this Honda Jazz back in 2011, had 350km on it. Rode it for three years and ran it up to 26,000km when I sold it to a friend of mine. Now he has a PCX 150 2013 so he wants me to sell it for him. Had to take it for a spin. Does it ever bring back memories. It’s now at 32490km and still runs gre...

Re: What have you done to improve the PCX suspension?

I installed YYS shocks.
Airhawk seat cushion
Someone’s prized sheep on the cushion

This combination has allowed me to ride 4-500km in a day with total comfort.

Re: anybody riding?

Ran off to Victoria today, beautiful overcast cool day. Not many bikes out but then it is a workday for most people. Work has been slow due to post covid issues. Love the fact I can ride all day for 10.00 in fuel. Rolled over the 59,000km mark. Did 280km for the day. The geese were so cool to watch....

What is in the box that the gun is attached to? I really doubt that the police around here would allow us to carry a rifle on a bike. Too many chances of being in an accident. Hi Mel46, that box I made to hold my hunting rifle. Based on the same concept of the Kolphin cases for ATV’s Made it so it ...

Re: anybody riding?

Today was two wheel therapy day. Went from Nanaimo to Courtney then Campbell River and off to Gold River. Beautiful sun and warm. Sadly got turned around by RCMP at Strathcona Park on the way to Gold River. Reason: I would need fuel and probably something to eat when I got there and they are limitin...
